The message is a reference to a work of graffiti which graced the same bridge in the ’70s 鈥� back then, ‘‘ likened the towering white spires of the nearby Mormon temple to the fabled Emerald City of Oz.
linked the original graffiti to students from the Connelly School of the Holy Child in Potomac, who visited the building in 1974 and noticed its similarity to the shining city from the 1939 classic starring Judy Garland.
Taylor 聽that the sign involved removable letters to avoid damaging the structure, and that it had been installed between 4 a.m. to 5 a.m. on Friday.
The railroad bridge has become a hotspot for messages critical of Trump since the 2016 election. In February 2017, it hosted the words “,” in reference to Trump’s immigration policies.
Mad Dog PAC is also raising money for a national tour of a 100 foot airborne banner calling for Trump’s impeachment, which it calls “the largest impeachment banner ever to grace the skies.”
